"Megan," he said. "What do you want?"

Return to the world of fabulous clothes, popping camera flashes, and gorgeous movie stars, as Megan Fielding, the fourth Fielding sister, navigates her family's wishes with her own attraction to Alessandro Rosselli, the hottest actor in Hollywood.

Megan is the fun, fashionable peacemaker of the Fielding siblings. Grateful for her older siblings' commitment to her after the death of their parents, she'll do whatever it takes to make them happy. Even ignore her own feelings of discontent.

Rejected by his family when he told them he wanted to be an actor, Alessandro has gone far since he served Megan at her favorite Boston coffee house. The hottest actor in Hollywood, his light is dimmed by a scandal that threatens his career. Returning to his adopted hometown to lick his wounds and take part in a fundraiser, Alessandro meets Megan again and finds he needs her skills to save the charity that means so much to him. But any kind of relationship is out of the question: Megan's family has bad history with the press, and Alessandro needs publicity to fulfil his dreams. However, after a photo of them goes viral, Megan finds that she likes the limelight.

If they work together, they can each fulfil their dreams. But can the paparazzi be appeased with a few photos? Will Megan have to choose between her family and her career? Or will Alessandro's fear of rejection stop him from exploring a relationship with this woman who is taking over his heart?
